Genesis 17:15-17

15Then GodH430 saidH559 toH413 AbrahamH85, “As for SaraiH8297 your wifeH802, do notH3808 callH7121 herH8034 SaraiH8297, forH3588 her nameH8034 is to be SarahH8283.1 16And I will bless herH1288 and will surelyH1571 giveH5414 you a sonH1121 by herH4480. I will bless herH1288, and she will beH1961 the mother of nationsH1471; kingsH4428 of peoplesH5971 will descendH1961 from herH4480.”

17AbrahamH85 fell facedownH5307H5921H6440. Then he laughedH6711 and saidH559 to himselfH3820, “Can a child be bornH3205H518 to a man who isH1121 a hundredH3967 years oldH8141? Can SarahH8283H1323 give birthH3205 at the age of ninetyH8673H8141?”
